'inspiring australia' summit #01

An interesting day today spent amongst some highly motivated people - leaders, and becoming inspired. Not quite as I expected as we had to delve into our own minds and actually do some hands on work also - which can be quite confronting and scary.

Having now moved to Brisbane there is an apparent succession of events - seminars, summits, workshops - to choose from to keep that 'high'.  I think I may become a seminar junkie.

A positive though, for remember - you become - what you surround yourself with. So I now choose, to always surround myself with exciting gogetters - always learning, always improving. And then being able to make a real difference to those around me, to motivate, to inspire, to support. Yes, a day well spent.
